Kon-Boot

Disable any anti-virus progs before download and burn, they can be reenabled after.

!!! NOTE: THE ISO's ARE NOT BLANK !!!
!!! NOTE2: FOLLOWING FILES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES WHATSOEVER SO IF YOUR ANTIVIRUS SCREAMS ABOUT IT, EITHER YOU ARE ALREADY INFECTED WITH SOMETHING ELSE OR YOUR ANTIVIRUS SUCKS. IN BOTH CASES DON'T BOTHER WITH REPORTING IT TO ME. !!!

A nifty utility from Kryptos logic called Kon-Boot, which you can download from HERE

Make sure that the BIOS is set to boot from the CD drive. With the CD in the drive, boot the machine.

Step1:
- After the machine boots from the CD, you will see the splash screen as shown on the left hand side. Simply hit enter to continue

Step 2:
- After hitting enter in the previous step, you will find this second splash screen. This is important as as soon as you hit enter on this screen, you will be taken to the next step, which is booting Windows, there are no other steps to configure here. In a few minutes, the normal Windows boot menu will appear, just proceed as you normally do in your normal logon sequence to Windows

Step 3:
- On Windows Logon screen, fill in the name of the user whom you want to log on as, leave the password blank and hit enter

Step 4:
- Olla! you are logged in! and what's the coolest thing, you have not reset the password for the account at all. It simply let you in because it interacted with the kernel directly using Linux. No alteration was done to any hard drive content at all during the process of logging in.

Step 5:
- Remove the CD from the drive, and reboot. Your machine will now present you the normal ctrl+alt+del screen like it always use to, try logging on with the username we tried before with the blank password! The blank password will not work, you can only get in if you knew what the right password was..this demonstrates that the user password was never reset, it still is what it use to be.
